Speed Code: Speed code values are listed in the table below. The Speed Code may 
be set explicitly by MODE SELECT command, or implicitly when AVC ( Auto-
Throttle) is set to 1 (bit 4, byte 8 of page code 10h). If AVC is set to 1, MODE SENSE 
will report the actual speed selected to optimize data throughput.
